Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 303

"And I understand that since I came here to negotiate, I should be prepared to make concessions. Your terms aren't unreasonable. I can agree to them," she said, her voice all business.

She was calm, rational.

Every word was ordinary, yet for some reason, each one grated on Soren's ears.

She was treating this like a transaction? And agreeing so flippantly?

Soren's lips trembled with rage. "Evangeline, are you out of your mind? You can actually agree to… to a demand like that?"

Did she have any shame left?

Evangeline looked at him, puzzled. "Weren't you the one who proposed it? If you made the offer, didn't you want me to accept?"

Her logic left Soren speechless.

Furious and flustered, he lashed out without thinking. "So if any other man made you the same offer, would you just accept it? Evangeline, when did you become so… promiscuous?"

*Promiscuous?*

The word hung in the air, and for a moment, the blood in Evangeline's veins seemed to freeze. But just as quickly, she regained her composure. A faint, ironic smile touched her lips as she spoke softly. "Why are you so surprised?"

"If you didn't already know, Mr. Fawkes, why did you sneak into my apartment after our divorce to do what we did?"

"I…"

The memory of that night was like a lump in Soren's throat, impossible to swallow or spit out. He couldn't even recall the details clearly. Poppy had followed him out of concern, and as for what happened next… he couldn't remember who had made the first move. But dwelling on it now was pointless. It had happened. Besides, Poppy was the woman in the situation; he couldn't exactly chase her down for an interrogation.

Seeing his silence, Evangeline pressed on. "But you're not wrong. I admit I'm not that chaste. I couldn't bring myself to save myself only for you, not even when we were married."
